Self-Publishing: An Author’s Experiences

I’d like to welcome B.R.A.G. Medallion Honoree Prue Batten to talk with me today about her experiences in Self-Publishing. Prue, when did you decide you were going to self-publish?

In 2008. Originally it was POD publication with a UK company funded by the UK Arts Council.

What has your experience been like along the way?

Truly excellent. The POD titles were professionally printed through Lightning Source and marketed via social media. Two years later I decided to take the books I had written at that time to e-book and signed with another independent agency. This agency marketed the books right across the globe. Within a year, however, I decided to take full control of my published works. My husband established an imprint called Darlington Press and my full list is published under that brand.
